Four people have been injured following an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in central Beirut.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the information was released by the Associated Press.
The Ministry of Public Health of Lebanon stated that the attack was carried out without any prior warning. This marks the second strike by the Israeli military on central Beirut within the past week. Israel has intensified its strikes on Lebanon, justifying the operations as a necessity to combat the Hezbollah group following the commencement of military operations involving US and Israeli forces against Iranian-backed interests in the region.
According to the Lebanese government, the death toll from Israeli attacks since the beginning of March has exceeded 400 people. The escalation comes amid heightened regional tensions involving US President Donald Trump's administration and its strategic objectives in the Middle East. The ongoing conflict has led to significant displacement and humanitarian concerns across southern Lebanon and the capital city.
Beirut, the capital and largest city of Lebanon, has frequently become a focal point of regional geopolitical shifts. Historically known as a commercial and cultural hub, the city has faced numerous challenges due to its proximity to regional conflict zones. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely as diplomatic efforts seek to prevent a wider regional escalation.
